End of Experiment.

I'm ending this treatment because I'm moving September 1st and won't be able to safely smoke marijuana without legal implications. This treatment has certainly been a success. Over the last six months, my condition went from debilitating - bloody mucus bowel movements every hour or two - to completely manageable.  However, it did have its drawbacks of unpleasant mental effects. I'm going to look into two other alternative treatments: Helminthic therapy and HPI. This will be the last post on this blog. If you would like more information about my condition and experiences please email me at ucandpot {at} yahoo.com.

171 lbs!

Although this treatment is certainly working, I don't know if I can sustain the dosage level. It hasn't had any negative physical or psychological effects.  However, I don't enjoy the amount of time that I loose in smoking every other day. I'm considering HPI treatment next week. If that works, then the marijuana would be something to use in an emergency instead of so regularly.

Yesterday, I had three bowel movements, all fairly large and formed, one before breakfast, one after breakfast and one after dinner. I smoked in the evening. This morning, I had a large formed movement after breakfast and a smaller one mid-morning.

Formed day: 3 movements

Today, I got up very early and played for a couple of hours, then felt some urgency, and passed  moderately sized solid stools. After that, I walked around the neighborhood and took pictures and bought food for breakfast. After breakfast, I had another bowel movement which was larger and a bit less firm, but still well formed. Nothing else until after dinner (at a kid's birthday party) when I passed another larger and less firm, yet formed, bowel movement.

Weight steady 165

Last two days: 3-4 formed bowel movements. Smoked.

Yesterday, I had two bowel movements in the morning, one in the afternoon and one after class. They were increasingly formed. Today, I've had three bowel movements, all formed and getting larger. Judging from the amount of gas I've had tonight,  I feel like I may have one more bowel movement today. I'm also smoking tonight.

Morning Movements: 3 soft then formed

This morning, upon rising, I had a moderate-sized soft bowel movement; later, before a short walk, I passed a more formed moderate-sized stool. Then, after breakfast, I passed a larger even more formed stool that softened slightly as it progressed.

Loose after class. Smoked.

After class today, I stopped in the bathroom before scooting home and passed a loose stool. This evening, I smoked 1/2 of the remaining stash from last year's harvest that I found on Monday.

Loose Morning

Today, I've sat on the toilet three times and passed loose stools each time. Bummer.

Supermarket, class: loose. Got Jarrowdopholous

This afternoon and evening weren't particularly good. I had two more loose  bowel movements.

Afternoon: two formed to soft

This afternoon I went to the bathroom twice, both.  with a moderate amount of urgence preceeded by copious gas. The first movement was moderate-sized and soft. The second was larger, began as formed and ended as soft.

Morning Movements: 2 formed

This morning, although I was most of the night with a  sick kid, I had bowel movements that were better than the previous few days. Upon getting out of bed, I had a moderate-sized formed bowel movement. After returning from drop-off at school, I had another moderate-sized formed bowel movement.

Very gassy. Smoked.

Yo' mama love them resin balls! This was the last of my marijuana. I've had such good results that I'm interested in seeing how long the effects will last (like how long after I stop sm.oking every other day (although I was supposed to smoke last night, I didn't) would it be before bleeding began again? Would it?

Gassy day

Today, my bowel movements were formed and few, but I sat on the toilet a couple of time because of gas.

2 morning: soft, 1 afternoon: formed again

This morning, I had two bowel movements; one moderately sized upon waking (5am with a kid) and a small one at 7:30before going for a walk with both kids. I took a nap from 10-11:30 then, upon waking had a moderate-sized formed bowel movement.

Diarreah. Bummer.

Tonight I had diarreah. I'm hoping it is from the popcorn I ate yesterday or the new proboitics. I'm going to stop taking these and get JarrowDopholus on Monday.

2 morning formed to soft 2 afternoon formed

Today, I had two bowel movements before breakfast and two in the afternoon.

Afternoon: 1 soft

This afternoon, around 3pm, I had a moderately sized soft bowel movement.

Morning Movements: 2 soft

This morning, I had a large soft bowel movement upon getting out of bed and a second large, soft bowel movement after breakfast.

Probiotics?

Perhaps the mild downturn I experienced is from stress or the new probiotics I got last week? I ran out of the Jarrowdopholus eps 20bil. and bought renew life ultimate flora (high lacto) and have been taking one a morning.

Gas? Beans?

I'm a bit nervous tonight because I've been having copious gas, but that's what happens after eating beans which I had for dinner tonight... to normal digestive systems... wild.

Morning Movements: 3 sittings firm to loose, 1 small afternoon, smoked

Today was a particularly stressful day, I had an enormous amount of work to do "asap". This morning, I got up, had a large bowel movement that began as firm and ended as very soft, and I sat twice after breakfast before riding to school. This afternoon, before driving to Brooklyn, I had a small, soft bowel movement. This evening I smoked.

Morning Movement: Moderate Solid to Loose

This morning, I got up early, played with the kids for a while, then sat on the toilet and passed a moderately sized bowel movement that began as formed and ended loose. Mentally, I'm feeling quite foggy and don't think I can keep up this amount of smoking for much longer...But, it has made such a difference on my gut...

Nothing since this morning. Smoked.

Today, I did things that used to make me very uncomfortable; sit in long meetings, sit stuck in the middle at a restaruant, sit window seat on a plane, that normal people take  for granted.

Morning movement: firm to loose

This morning, after getting up, I had a two-sitting bowel movement that began as firm and ended loose.

Smoked. Running out. Getting tired of getting stoned this ofte n

Because AIT is back up and shipping whipworm again, I'm going to contact them again.

Morning: small soft before breakfast

This morning, before breakfast, I passed some fairly small, soft stools. After breakfast, I had a larger, more formed bowel movement that took two sittings for my gut to feel completely voided.

164 lbs.

I think my weight is down because things are so busy I wasn't eating as often as I'd like to be. However, I did just enjoy a bananas and yogurt from our big tub of nancy*s.

bowel movement after class: soft. smoking.

This afternoon, I only smoked 1/2 dose (1 waterpipe) so I could be functional. I had a soft bowel movement after class this evening and am going to take the rest of my normal semi-daily dose.

Smoked one water pipe

I've got another six hours to work today. Nice! Smoked one waterpipe. Nothing since.

Another soft to loose movement

This is the fifth bowel movement this morning. I'm throwing caution into the wind and smoking now. I certainly wish that access to strains of cannabis were available on the East Coast. Anecdotally, I understand that different strains of cannabis have been bred to have more potency for body effect and less for mental effects. That would be great!  

Another movement

During work, I felt urgency. I went to the bathroom and passed a loose stool. Ugh. I guess it really matters that I smoke every other day still.

Third morning movement: soft

After driving, I had to sit on the toilet again the morning and passed more gas and a small soft stool.

Yesterday: 3 formed: morning, noon, afternoon

Yesterday, I didnt get enough sleep, but had a very busy day. I had a formed bowel movement at breakfast, another around noon and a third around 4pm.

Smoked second water pipe

I got worried that one half the normal dose wouldn't work, I took the full dose; two water pipes.

Afternoon formed park visit, toilet check and smoked.

This afternoon, on the way to school, I stopped at a nice park on Washington and Greene? and used the toilet. I hopped around farting while a crazy / drunk guy took his time shooting up or whatever. I sat and passed a moderately large formed stool with perfectly clear water. No mucus! After class, I sat on the toilet a passed gas. I smoked half a much this evening. Running out of pot. Have enough for another 4-5 water pipes. I'm upset there is no legal way to buy or grow more! I'm going to try using one water pipe every other day as a new dose. If symptoms worsen,  I will return to previous dose.  Also, now that I'm in remission I'd like to look into HPI anew.

Morning movement: large formed

This morning, I slept in until 8. Upon getting out of bed, I had a bowel movement. It was large and formed.

Two formed in evening

This evening, during class, I went to the bathroom twice. Both times I passed moderate amounts of formed stool.

Two morning, dinner. Smoked.

Got up early with the kids, played, then went to the bathroom. Passed one  small, firm stool.  After breakfast passed one large firm to soft stool. Walked around the neighborhood with friends with abandon. No anxiety of a possibility of having to have to find a toilet. What a relief. Sheesh. At late dinner, passed moderately sized formed stool. Smoked two water pipes. Nothing since.

One sitting day

Today, I only sat on the toilet once!

One formed movement in morning

Today, I slept in and had a firm formed bowel movement upon getting out of bed. I drove around with the family and went shopping with no urgency and no worry about going to the  bathroom. Amazing.

Gut soft

My large intestine, when deeply prodded is still slightly firm, but it has significantly softened from when I was symptomatic. Crazy. This is my fist remission in nine years.

Nothing since morning. Smoked.

Nothing doing, bowel-wise since this morning. Walked around with abandon.  Smoked two waterpipes this evening.  In my opinion, my livestyle has now completely changed from before I started using marijuana medically. Now, I just hope it stays this good! (or could I even feel better? completely healthy bowels? could it be this simple?) Seriously, every day is now a joy; walking and bicycling around with my children; no fear of having an accident! It is like a fairy-tale, too good to be true; too good to continue? I certainly have no indication that this isn't just going to keep making me feel healthier. Crazy.

Nothing since this morning. Smoked.

This morning, I had two more bowel movements, both were soft.

Morning: large formed to soft.

Yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of urgency while driving with the extended family in chinatown, found a stinky bathroom and passed two small stools and a bunch of gas. Not sure if the urgency was caused by not wanting to fart in the crowded car.

Second morning movement: Large Formed

Large formed during breakfast

166, nothing else today

This evening I weighed 166 lbs. I had no further bowel movements since the last post and very little gas. I smoked two water pipes and ate a dozen deviled eggs and now I feel quite full. My stomach is uncofortable, but in a very different muscle layer and location.

Solid day, tea, four bowel movements

This morning, upon getting out of bed, I had a moderately large solid bowel movement. Later, after breakfast, I had a smaller, solid bowel movement. At noon, I had tea, then felt urgent and passed a small solid stool. Since then, I've felt a bit urgent and passed one small stool that was formed, firm, but not as solid as the previous three.

Afternoon: two small solid

During class today, I had gas, went to the bathroom to pass the gas and had a small solid bowel movement. After class, I had more gas, went to the bathroom and passed another small solid stool.

Afternoon: solid

This afternoon, I traveled to Brooklyn for the first time without a protective undergarmet. En route, I wasn't sure if I had to go to the bathroom and stopped at the Botanical Gardens to try. Nothing doing. Drove to school. Then, a while after getting to school, I passed some gas and went to the toilet again and passed a solid stool. Yay!

Morning movement: Large firm to loose

This morning, upon getting out of bed, I passed a very large stool that began as firm, and by the end was loose.

This afternoon, I went to the bathroom at school and passed a stool that began as formed and ended up watery. I have no discomfort, however, and am still confident teaching, etc.

This morning, upon rising from bed, I had a large bowel movement that began somewhat formed and ended soft.

Yesterday: fine all day, two bowel movements in the evening.

Yesterday, I took the subway with my family and had no urgency, no nervousness about the closest toilet. No depend! What a lifestyle change! In the evening, I drove around the city picking up art and delivering it to a gallery for an upcoming show. I had to pull over and dash into a wendy's where I passed a large stool that began as formed and ended fairly soft.

4 hours sleep, 1 formed bowel movement

I'm a bit tired today because I only slept for 4 hours last night. This morning, after breakfast, I had a moderate-sized formed bowel movement. No urgency since, only a little easily passed gas.

Two toilet checks at school, but no depends

Today I drove to New Jersey to teach, taught until 10, went to the studio and made two prints all without fear of having an accident. Boy is that comfortable. What a lifestyle improvement. Used a waterpipe this evening on accord of my throat and dwindling  buds.  I smoked one bowel and feel that it is as . . Well i dont think i can smoke another. Time to go to sleep! Stuff to do tomorrow!

Third bowel movement

So far today, I've had three bowel movements. The first was upon getting up this morning and was quite large. It began as solid and devolved into soft. I  sat on the toilet twice to complete it. The second was before going out to get cat food. It was smaller and soft. The third was at 5:30pm after drinking tea before class. It too started out firm and devolved into a softer texture as in progressed.

Today: two bowel soft movements

Today, I had my first bowel movement upon getting out of bed and a second one mid-afternoon. Both were soft. I have had no ugrency or discomfort at all today.

Two soft in afternoon/evening

At 3pm and 8:30pm I passed soft stools. This evening, I used a waterpipe to assuage my still-healing throat.

One soft bowel movement upon rising

So far today, I've only had one bowel movement; I passed a large soft stool upon rising. Since then, I've has very little gas and no discomfort.

Second bowel movement: 7pm soft

Today, I've only had two bowel movements. This afternoon I visited my parents and did not wish to pass gas around them. When I got home, I thought I had to go to the bathroom, but aftere passing a lot of gas, the feeling passed. At 7pm, right before dinner, the urge to go stuck and I passed a moderately sized, soft stool.

First bowel movement: noon, formed

This morning, I slept in until 8:30 and feel a bit better cold-wise. I played outside with the kids, had breakfast, did work; all while passing occasional gas. At noon, I felt the need to go to the bathroom, sat down and passed a moderately-sized formed stool. I have had no discomfort whatsoever today. Nice!

Two loose

Today, I drove around, went to the dmv. I'm feeling very pro bearaucratic these days. In and out of there in less than 15 minutes (including a use of the facikities there- very nicely maintained!) . Passed a medium sized soft stool. I'm positive that I'm having no bleeding at all b/c the color is so light brown/dark tan. (Lighter than blood) and once in the evening. Smoked  despite lingering cold.

Morning movement: small formed

This morning, upon rising, I had a small formed bowel movement.

Cold symptoms increase, one large watery bowel movement

Today, I didnt have any urgency or discomfort throughout the day. I was passing gas like a normal person- while sitting, driving, walking. This evening, before dinner, I felt an increased need to pass gas and felt like I couldn't without lying down then had to go to the bathroom. At that point, I had a large watery/loose stool. After finishing that, I had a bit of cramping on my lower right side which soon dissipated and I've been comfortable since.

Morning: small firm with mucus

This morning, after getting out of bed, I passed one small, firm stool with a lot of mucus.

Smoked despite cold

Last night, despite feeling like I had a cold (stuffy nose, mild aches, mild headache), I smoked. I immideately got in the shower then into bed. I had a fairly copious amount of gas and sat on the toilet at one point and passed mucus. This morning, I got up and sat on the toilet and passed more gas and a small amount of mucus.

Sick with cold, didn't smoke last night, loose this morning

Because I felt like I was coming down with a cold, I decided to just go to bed after getting home at 11 from class last night. I think that was a good choice because I definately have a cold and my throat is quite sore. Hovever, I had two loose bowel movements this morning. Bummer.

Two afternoon bowel movements

I had two more bowel movements this afternoon. The first was quite small and made of small, formed pieces. The second was larger and looser.

Another formed to soft in the morning

This morning, a few hours after my first two bowel movements, I had a third. I'm not feeling great in general, like I'm fighting off a cold - stuffed nose, sore throat, tired...

This morning large firm to soft, yesterday two small soft

Yesterday, I had two small, soft and urgent bowel movements. This morning, upon getting out of bed, I had a large, bowel movement that began as formed and became soft by the end.

No bowel movement yet today

So far today I've sat on the toilet twice and passed gas with some mucus, but no stool. I feel a bit tired and am not sure if it becuase of lack of sleep, but that is the story I'm sticking with becuase I didn't get into bed until after 11:30 and got up to change diapers twice before being woken up at 6. But, what a difference in gut peacefulness compared to yesterday!

smoking = chewing x 4 ?

The quantity of active compounds absorbed orally seems to be far less potent than smoked. Perhaps some of the active compounds are formed when heated. would boiling be hot enough to form them?

Tea, afternoon urgency, looseness

Not sure if the chewing didn't have the same efficacy as smoking or that I drank tea this afternoon, but boy was I uncomfortable for a while. I had to pull over twice to go to the bathroom while driving to the city. But, after that, I've been okay. I think that I'll continue smoking for the next couple of months and not change the regimen until I'm stable, consistently having solid bowel movements.

Morning: Two large firm to soft

This morning, upon getting out of bed, I had a large bowel movement. Then, I took the kids on a long walk to the hardware store. On the way there, I used the kids for cover to duck into a tax-preparation place and had a very large formed to soft bowel movement.

Finished chewing. Pleasant side effects

If this delivery method is effective I would much prefer it over smoking. I dont have any of the unpleasant side-effects of smoking; no dry mouth, no smelling like smoke, no paranoia. In fact, I feel quite euphoric, clear-headed, chatty and have a pleasant minty taste in my mouth. It is a bit tingly, and while I was chewing, I was salavating heavily. However, I'm not convinced that this delivers the same dosage of active compounds as equal quantity would when smoked. We'll see tomorrow.

Chewing instead of smoking.

I've gotten pretty tired of smoking, so tonight I sewed up the same amount I normally smoke into a fancy teabag. Hopefully, it isn't a waste of pot. I'm starting to worry about how much I have left. It looks as though I'll have to buy some more fairly soon.

Afternoon: moderately urgent and formed

This afternoon, I had two bowel movements that were a bit urgent and gassy, but the stool was formed into discrete pieces. Gone seem to be the days of discoloring the water in the toilet. I also looked over the old entries in this blog and am quite pleased that I've been keeping it as on a daily basis it is hard to notice the steady progress that keeps happening.

Morning Movements: Large Solid to Soft, Formed

This morning after getting out of bed, I had a large bowel movement. It started out firm, then softened significantly by the end. At 10:30, after having breakfast, I had a second bowel movement, which was formed.

Smoked last night. Small this morning. Firm afternoon.

Last night I smoked after having a fairly urgent day. I didn't get enough sleep; maybe 5 hours. This morning, I had a small bowel movement after getting up and nothing but some gas that I was able to pass while sitting and working or walking around. I bicycled to and from school without any worry of an accident. After lunch, I had a large bowel movement that began as quite solid and ended fairly loose.

Large loose afternoon

This afternoon, I had a large soft/loose bowel movement.

Two-sitter this morning

This morning, I was up to change a diaper at 6 am and sat on the toilet to pass some gas. I went back to bed to try to get as much sleep as possible. At 8:30, after being up since 7, I had a large bowel movement that began as firm and ended soft and loose.

Second bowel movement: 5pm a bit of urgency

Walking around Ikea, I was struck with a mild sense of urgency. Not wanting to take any chances, I walked over to the bathrooms passing gas as I went. I had a fairly small fairly solid bowel movement.

Morning movement: solid to soft

This morning, upon rising, I had a large bowel movement that began as solid and became soft/loose as it went on. I'm now sitting again seemingly finishing.

Haven't been eating well. Still weigh 166.

Ifeel like I haven't been getting enough to eat, ad yet my weight is still more than 19 lbs above what I was two months ago. Today, I had a large, loose, spicy bowel movement upon waking and a small, elongated rabbit shaped pile before going in the car with the family. Nothing doing since. Smoked 1 joint this evening.

Solid!

This afternoon, I had another solid bowel movement! This one was a larger diameter than the last and drier. This morning I did have a large loose bowel movement. That's it. Haven't sat on the toilet except for once before leaving the house, but nothing happened..

Large loose bowel movement after kids' bedtime nothing since

After putting the kids to bed, I had a large very soft to loose bowel movement.  Smoked 1  at 10:30ish. Nothing happening since.

Not enough sleep, too much poop

This morning, after sleeping five hours, I got up at 4:30 to do work. I had a fairly firm bowel movement upon getting out of bed. After breakfast, I had a large soft/loose bowel movement that involved sitting down three times before feeling complete.

Passed gas four times, solid bowel movement!

This morning, after my first bowel movement, I sat on the toilet three times because of copious wet gas. I tried once later in the afternoon and passed gas. Now, I just had my first solid, firm, formed bowel movement! It is fairly skinny, but it is one long piece!

One formed bowel movement before breakfast

Upon getting up this morning, I had a bowel movement that was fairly large and with some form. My gut has been comfortable since then.

Smoked, gut feels better

Today, I was feeling mushy. I felt urgent enough that I should go pas gas on the toilet; I smoked and my gut gurgled and nothing has been bothering me since.

Not such a good day

Today, I had some loose bowel movements in the morning and have been feeling a bit urgent. However, this is nothing compared to a how urgent I was all the time a few weeks ago.

Two loose bowel movements this morning

At 6am I got up to change a diaper then sat down on the toilet and passed a large loose stool. Before breakfast, I had another loose stool.

A couple of quick toilet visits

Nothing much doing bowel-wise today after this morning. I stopped by the toilet to pass gas and mucus once during classes and have been feeling okay.

Not enough sleep, 3 bowel movements so far today

Last night, I didn't get home until 11 and didn't get to sleep until 1:30-2am. This morning, I had two bowel movements before bicycling Tamar to school. The first was fairly formed, the second loose. After getting home, I had a second meal and had another bowel movement that was fairly formed an hour and a half after eating. I realize that I haven't taken probiotics/suppliments since yesterday morning.

Was weighing 164 over the weekend (friday?)

I also think I may have lost weight because of a few missed/crappy meals/pizza. I havent  weighed myself in a few days but i noticed my pants arent as tight.

Smoked. Nothing since

This evening, I smoked 1 tsp. and nothing bowel-wise since. I was also recalling how on days when I taught in Paramus I would often have to stop to go to the bathroom on the way there; sometimes having accidents. And, during the long classes there, having to run out multiple times. Since the big bowel movement this morning, I've sat on the toilet maybe three times and passed gas with a bit of mucus.

One large bowel movement this morning

Today, I got up and spent 20 minutes on the toilet and passed a large stool that began as formed and got softer as it progressed. My finger is less sensitive today. Since this morning, I've sat on the  toilet twice, both times not much happened.

3 bathroom visits for gas.. that's it today

Today, I sat on the toilet three times to fart out little bits of mucus, but haven't had a bowel movement until this evening. This evening, I had a fairky firm medium-sized bowel movement. My finger is almost done peeling.

Smoked, no bowel movement since.

This evening, I smoked 3/4 tsp.  I haven't had a bowel movement since. My  finger is continuing to peel and is quite tender and sharp feeling.

Finger fully peeled, few bowel movements.

I think i had a fairly formed bowel movement this morning and nothing since. The left index finger is almost fully peeled, but the edges of the peel area still hurt.

Finger still peeling, one small urgent bowel movement

This morning, I had to pull over and squat behind a dumpster and passed a small, loose stool. There was no blood. My finger is peeling quite a bit now.

Peeling finger photo

Heres what my finger looks like now that it has begun peeling.

Peeling finger photo

Here's what my finger looks like

Bad afternoon, smoked, fine since

Probably because of the espresso, I had multiple loose bowel movements.  But, I didn't have much urgency in the early afternoon. After I stopped at a very well maintained park bathroom in brooklyn near the navy yard (medical center?) On washington and the BQE. This summer I want to photograph under the BQE.

Too tired. Drank expresso. Another bowel movement

In order to keep focued on work this morning, I drank an expresso. Now, I'm sitting on the toilet and having a fairly formed bowel movement.

Two bowel movements before breakfast, finger stiff beginning to peel

This morning I had two bowel movements. The first was large and fairly loose. The second was smaller and just as loose. However, both were fairly light in color and there was absolutely no trace of blood. I think that the bleeding stopped a week or two ago, but being red/green colorblind it is hard for me to tell..

The skin on my left index finger is extremly stiff and is beginning to split on the last knuckle.

Last night Caleb was awakebecause of  teething and i got only around 5 hours of sleep again.

5 hours sleep, 2 loose bowel movements

This morning, I had a parent-teacher conference. I had a fairly loose bowel movement before breakfast. I ate breakfast before going to the conference (which is something that would have caused much distress a few weeks ago)  and had no discomfort or urgency there. After returning home (through heavy traffic) I had a bowel movement that was less loose than the first. The skin on my my left index finger is becoming increasingly stiff, hot, swollen  and uncomfortable.

164lbs Fairly urgent formed bowel movements in afternoon

My finger is still swollen, although after a hot shower, it isn't bothering me so much. I weighed in at 164 which is still a good 15-6lbs over what I was five weeks ago... Wild. I smoked 1 tsp this night and haven't had any bowel distress.. also of note- i feel like my muscles are growing and the mole on my face is not as raised and lighter than in the past...

A bit gassy, formed, urgent

So far today, I've had two bowel movements. The first, upon getting out of bed, was fairly formed and a bit urgent. The second bowel movement was firmer, but still a bit urgent. My left index finger is quite uncomfortable, but not peeling yet.

End of a gassy day

I'm lying on one side passing yet more gas. It is interesting how much drier and easier it is when I pass gas now.

Still fairly formed and urgent

Throughout the day I've been having a fair amount of urgency with fairly formed stools. My finger continues to be uncomfortable and swollen. I've been eating many things that I probably shouldn't, like ice cream, but if I'm ok now... wow...

Large bowel movement before breakfast. Finger more sensitive

This morning, I had a large somewhat formed bowel movement upon getting up from bed. My left index finger is becomingly increasingly sensitive and swollen... I wonder if it will peel badly...

Left Index Finger Feeling Flairy

This evening, my left index finger began to feel like  it has become in the process of peeling.. smoked 1tsp this evening

Gas, accident, formed

Today, after going to the playground with the family, we were walking home and I started passing copious gas. I felt urgency, but ignored it until it was pressing. I ran ahead and ducked into chicken shack and had a bowel movement that was fairly large and formed. Too bad I didn't completely make it. Even though I'm feeling a lot better, I obviously have to take it easy and listen to my body...

Almost accident, but formed

This morning, I went to the bathroom once and had a farily solid bowel movement. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom a second time, but the kids were ready to go to out, so I left without having a second  bowel movement. However, walking to the bagel store, I passed gas numerous times and felt like I was going to have an accident. At the bagel store, I hustled the kids into the bathroom and barely made it to the toilet before passing a large, fairly formed stool. It was a bit spicy coming out on account of the Indian food I ate yesterday. But I've felt good since

No bowel movement since morning.

This morning I had a fairly loose bowel movement, but nothing since. I only sat on the toilet 3 or 4 times to pass some gas today... so I celebrated by having a beer with dinner

10pm no bowel movement, sitting and farting

So far today, I've only had urgency from gas and mucus. I've sat down on the toilet twice today to pass mucus, once at 3pm and once at 10:15pm.

No bowel movement yet today

I smoked 3/4 tsp last night and have not had a bowel movement since. I sat on the toilet and passed gas and a small amount of mucus once so far today.

Second bowel movement of the day at 9:30 pm

After the fairly formed bowel movement this morning before breakfast I had some feelings of urgency and passed some mucusy gas on the toilet a few times. My second bowel movement came after driving for two hours and is not so formed...

Fairly urgent gas, two bowel movements today

Since my bowel movement this morning, I've been on the toilet a couple of times just to pass gas and a bit of mucus. However, i didnt have another bowel movement until now. It was fairly formed, certainly less loose than this morning.

Large, loose, light this morning

After getting up this morning, I had a large bowel movement. It began as farily formed, then became progressively looser. It was light colored, which reminds me that I haven't been bleeding in  while. Another thing that I've forgotten about is how many times I used to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. It is amazing to think that I haven't been woken once by the urge to have a bowel movement!

Running to the toilet after coffee

I guess I shouldn't have drank that coffee, because now I'm feeling quite urgent. I've sat on the toilet three times and had loose bowel movements. Bummer. Part of my mind was thinking as I walked across campus to get coffee, "Don't drink coffee. It will mess up the gut." Well, it did.

2pm no bowel movement yet

I smoked 1 teaspoon last night. Today, I've sat down on the toilet three times and passed gas with some mucus, but nothing else. I'm feeling a bit nervous and a somewhat giddy. I'm going to have a coffee before back-to-back classes.

Thai last night. 168lbs and firm today

Two things that before starting smoking I thought would never happen: Eating Thai food and not having a miserable next day and gaining weight. I've had a few small farily firm bowel movements today and a decreasing amount of gas. Nice!

2 Bowel Movement Day

After smoking last night, I've only had two bowel movements;one large this morning and a small one this evening. I've been able to stand and pass gas easily all day. Wow!

Large bowel movement after breakfast.

I woke up early this morning and played with the kids while Sophie slept in for a bit. I made breakfast, woke her up; then after eating, had a fairly urgent, large partially formed bowel movement.

Evening post:ok

One small fairly firm bowel movement happened this afternoon. Besides then, I've been passing gas fairly copiously and occasionally sitting on the toilet to let out a bit of mucus.

Morning after coffee day.. Ok!

Yesterday was fine. Maybe four bowel movements in total and a fair amount of gas. This morning, I was woken at 5 to change a wet diaper and had a bowel movement. I went back to sleep and got to sleep in until 8. I got up and soon had another bowel movement. Nothing since then.

Fine yesterday, firm today

Yesterday was unremarkable, neither great nor terrible; I think I had around three bowel movements with a fair amount of gas, especially as evebning wore on. Last night, I smoked 1 tsp and didn't get to sleep until 1am. I also woke up a few times because I didn't want to wake up the family by stinking up the room. Caleb woke up around 5:30 with a wet diaper, then we were all up by 6:15 excited by the snow. So, I had a coffee with breakfast and soon after had a bowel movement. It was fairly formed.

Two bowel movement morning

My first bowel movement was before breakfast and the second well after. It looks like New York State may legalize pot soon.

Fairly formed and gassy

I've had two more bowel movements. Both were fairly small and formed and accompanied by copious gas.

Solid Morning

Smoked 1 tsp. last night and went to sleep at 12:30ish. This morning I've had two fairly solid bowel movements and some gas. Nice!

Very loose morning

I'm on my fourth loose bowel movement today. My conclusion is that too little sleep messes me up.

Gettin' Late. More Gas.

I've been up until past 2 for the last few nights. I just finished working and am going to go to bed after taking a shower. Bowel-wise, I had one loose movement before driving home from class, but nothing except gas since...

Gassy Day

Two bowel movements today. One upon waking and one before taking Tamar to school. Since then, I've been passing copious amounts of gas and occasionally sitting on the toilet to fart out a bit of mucus.

One last loose before smoking

Nothing since...

Fairly solid and gaseous

Throught the day, I only had four bowel movements total (including the two in the morning). Now, I'm sitting on the toilet farting after putting the kids to bed. Earlier, I was passing copious gas while standing and sitting; something that I never could have done a few weeks ago...

Bedtime update

No bowel movements after this morning ( 4 total today) . However, I'm having a bit of gas. The wonderful thing is that I'm able to fart like a normal person. The Marijuana has certainly substantially reduced the amount of mucus in my gut.

Another morning

After sleeping six hours I was woken up by the family. Had a medium sized bowel movement which was fairly firm. After breakfast, I had another which was a bit looser. Now, I'm about to take the kids on a walk and nothing is doing.

Midnight snack

Today was so busy I didn't have a chance to record how well things were going. Feeling good.

Second movement

I smoked 1 tsp last night and took glutathione, fish oil and probiotics. This morning I had one bowel movement before breakfast and one after; both starting slightly firm and ending middlingly loose. A bit tired and have a lot to do today...

Morning

Slept in until 8am. Upon rising, I had one large bowel movement which began as farily firm and became looser as it continued. My left index finger is starting to feel pre-peelish.

Two more seatings

Before I could leave the house, I had to sit down on the toilet two more times. But evereything was better than loose.

Solid afternoon

After having some gassy moments throught the day that necessitated sitting on a toilet, I just had my second bowel movement of the day and it was fairly well formed. Yay!

First movement

I just had my first bowel movement since smoking around 13 hours ago. It was a bit gassy, loose and urgent, but I think there hasn't been any blood for a while.

Just gas

Since smoking last night, I haven't had a bowel movement. I just had to sit on the toilet at pass gas with a bit of mucus. Feeling a bit foggy... from lack of sleep?

Added doctor's recomendations

After having a crappy day,  I feel better having smoked 1 tsp. I've decided that I'm familiar enough with the cycle of getting worse 36-48 hours after smoking that has been consistent enough through the last three weeks; I'm going to take daily: Probiotics (Jarrodophilus (40 billion cfu/10 strains) , Fish oil, Glutathione   (jarrow 500 mg) 2x per day waiting on L-glutamine.

Afternoon slide

Feeling worse as the day goes on. Having more urgency and looseness. I've had two more bowel movements since lunch and the last was watery...

Second movement

Today's first bowel movement was before breakfast. It was fairly formed, but still loose. This second one was a bit urgent with gas and is also loose.

End of day fireworks

I was about to take the laundry out when I had some gas. I sat down on the toiler and had a very large bowel movement. It started out solid then got looser. After flushing, I had to sit down again and finish. Maybe it was the coffee? Cookies?

Second try

After getting up, I felt some gassiness, returned to the toilet, and had a bowel movement. It was loose.

Mid-afternoon check-in

Still only one bowel movement today. About to go for a walk with the family, so I'm sitting on the toilet to see if anything is doing... but noting is going on. Cool.

Morning Coffee = 1st bowel movement

Smoked 1 tsp last night. This morning I was woken up by Tamar who wanted to go get flowers for valentine's day. We got dressed and went out to the florist, came back, made breakfast and ate. I decided to have an expresso and it wasnt until now that I've felt like going to the bathroom. My bowel movement was no particularly formed, the remarkable thing is the amount of time I had before going.

After breakfast

I had three bowel movements of increasing looseness before I felt comfortable walking to the supermarket.  Last night i had loose gassy bowel movements with some urgency.

Bedtime roundup

Towards the end of the day, and especially after dinner, I experienced more and more gas and urgency, culminating in a fairly loose bowel movement. Now, I'm trying to go to sleep but im quite gaseous.

Delicious lunch walk

Just walked to Steinway went to the bank and got lunch from Egyptian places near 25th Ave. Delicious meatball pie and kenafa and baklava. Walked home. No urgency anywhere. Ate lunch standing up and passed some gas. Had some tea. Now sitting with a burbbly stomach. Feeling gassy but able to keep tooting, so I'm happy.

Shave and a Haircut

Smoked 1 tsp. last night. Only one bowel movement today; before breakfast. Walked quite a long distance to get my haircut and had no urgency. Feeling a bit happy and foggy, possibly because of a lack of sleep last night.

Lunchtime update

Just had leftovers of lamb, artichokes and brown rice. I put a pot of water on to boil for tea and realized that even though I am a bit tired (maybe from working so intensely since breakfast (avocado on toast) I haven't had a bowel movement since before breakfast. Wow!

A new morning

Slept through the night without inturrpution. Had one soft bowel movement witjhout too much gas. Shoveled the driveway, drove, going to eat breakfast. Feeling much more optimistic than yesterday.

More of the same

Multiple loose, gassy, urgent bowel movements this evening. Bummer.

Lunch update

Had four bowel movements after breakfast. Quite loose and gassy. I dont think I slept enough last night.

Tipping the scales

I was ready to give up on this because I had such a symptomatic morning and day yesterday, but i just weighed 167lbs. I've been much closer to 147 than 167 recently. I actually can't remember weighing over 165. Crazy!

Updated website

I smoked two bowls and feel ok bowel-wise. Earlier today and yesterday? When was it that i slept for only 2 and a half hours? Crazy. But bowels are feeling fine. I'd like something healthy to eat. I'd like to make an aeoli sauce and soak the salty shrimp then make a shrimp salad sandwich. Yum.

End of a crappy day.

What a day. I've been feeling urgency all day. I musy have had 7 or 8 bowel movements. All loose. All urgent. I dont know if this is working. Or maybe it is because I'm so tired...

Not so great morning

Last night I smoked 1 teaspoon using rolling paper as a delivery mechanism.  Besides a fair sized dinner of chicken and yams, I ate nachos and yogurt  before bed. I didn't get to sleep until 4am and Caleb woke up at 5. Somehow, I was allowed to fall back asleep by 5:30 and slept until 7:30. So, I'm a bit tired this morning. I have two classes today with one hour to do a one and a half hour drive which I'm not looking forward to. Symptomatically, I'm not doing so well. I've had three bowel movements, all with copious gas and a fair amount of urgency.

I'm drinking tea by the potfull to make it through today...

Chicken shopping

After bringing the car home, I walked down to the supermarket to get a chicken. I felt some urgency, so i ducked in to Athens Cafe. On the way there I wasn't sure what was going on in the gut, but walking down the stairs I passed some pleasant gas. And now I'm having what I would consider a solid bowel movement!

Oil change

Went to the birthday party and made it home without any urgency. Had a few bites of pizza, but still quite hungry. The car's oil light was blinking for a while, so now I'm getting ther oil changed. Going to try to go to the bathroom before going home. Update: nothing doing...

Morning Edition

Woke up at 6:30 to play paper dolls with Tamar. Fell asleep on her floor while she played. Woke up at 8am, had two loose bowel movements, then went to the bagel store. No urgency, no stress going there or coming back. Had two cups of tea and am going to work for a bit before heading out with the kids to a birthday party at noon.

Evening News

Ate lots of Nieman Ranch ribs and potatos and broccoli for dinner. Afterwards, i had some gas and passed a small solid stool. At 10:30, I took a shower and got into bed and had a lot of gas. I got up and had a large loose bowel movement. Now I feel pretty good.

Tea time tune-in

Had Five Guys burgers and Fries for lunch. Nothing doing bowel-movement wise since this morning. No urgency or gas. Wild! Just vacumed with  sleeping Caleb strapped to my chest. Had some left over tea from breakfast and took a little snooze too. Feeling as perky as could be with 4 hours sleep last night.

Waiting in car

Someting that would certainly have gotten me nervous before: Being stuck in the car for an indeterminate length of time. But now I'm sitting with one sleeping kid and one happily, quietly watching Dora. I havent had any urgency or need to go to the bathroom since the one poop I made this morning.

Quick morning update

Smoked one joint at 10pm last night. It kept me awake until 3:30am. This morning I had one comfortable, but not particularly solid, bowel movement after breakfast. Slept through the 4.5 hours I was in bed without gastric disturbance. Planning on driving around with the family this morning. Feeling tired and optimistic.

Two teaspoons?

Less than 1 gram, actually. Don't people take 1000mg of vitamin C when they are Trying to fight a cold? Yeah, these side effects are different than Vitamin-C, but ulcerative colitis is certainly different than a cold. Does this work? What are CB-1 and 2 short for? (Note to self)

After the afternoon

Scooted into the city and met up with a class to walk around Chelsea and see some art. On the way to meet on 23rd and 8th I was feeling worried that I would have some urgency. Nobody was there so I went into Dallas BBQ and had a small, solid bowel movement. Came upstairs and a couple of students were waiting for me. Walked around for 2 hours, no problems at all.  Coming home, I felt a little hunger headache, but I had a apple with peanut butter and now I'm feeling good. A bit worried about the snow tonight preventing me from getting to the studio...

A morning of to do.

Fell asleep last night reading to my daughter.
5am: awoke from a bop in the nose from my son. Thought about staying up and getting some stuff done before the day started. Sat on the toiled and had a large, fairly unformed, bowel movement. 5:10am decided that I should get more sleep.
7:30am: woke up with family, sat on toilet and had a repeat of 5am experience. Walked to supermarket to pick up milk and eggs. No urgency. Nice. Got so much to do today including going to the studio to take my medicine once again.

Tiny visit.

Finished with laundry. Before going to the laundromat I sat for a bit on the toilet and had a very small, inconsequential bowel movement. Fairly gassy and basically mucus. Walking around feels great. No pressure on the gut, no urgency. Hope this lasts through tomorrow!

Tired and waiting

I'm ready for a nap. Too much sitting and working at the computer all day. But: Still no bowel movement. This is now going on hour 16. Maybe twice or three times longer than I've gone without one in 8 years.

Still a bit nervous about going outside. However, I'm going to suck it up and go to the laundrymat.

Doubling down

So, not to dwell on food, but I just had beans again for lunch. Still no bowel movement, so I'm as happy as an oyster.

Walking with gas

So, I walked to the mailbox and continued the couple of blocks to the bakery; but had some mucusy gas and stopped in at the Irish Rover to use the toilet. While farting there I got a call from a roofer who I was supposed to meet. I finished up, walked quickly back home, met with the roofer, then went to the bank. After depositing checks I got coffee and an apple turnover at the bakery and decided to get chicken and rice at a street vendor. I got the spicy rice and a bit of hot sauce on the chicken. I'm hoping that my newly functional gut handles it... Still haven't had a bowel movement today!

The joy of gas

Last night, after going to my studio after an opening, I smoked 2 bowls. At 3:30 am, after finishing some work I had to get done, I ate some delicious rice and beans my wife had cooked earlier in the week. In the past, I would never have eaten beans, as they would have caused serous distress. This morning I'm sitting and working and making normal toots. Magical fruit indeed!

Yesterday morning wasn't as good as I hadn't smoked the day before and had a late night snack that ended with eating chocolate ice cream straight out of the pint. But, all traces of that seem to have passed.

This morning, I haven't had to have a bowel movement yet. I've already dropped my daughter off at school and made it home without any worries, but I'm still nervous about taking a walk. Ahh, heck, I'm going to take the plunge and go get some egg sandwiches and coffee!

Intro

This blog is going to be used to document my experience using marijuana to treat my Ulcerative Colitis. As of today, I've been smoking a joint of marijuana every other day for a week and have seen a vast improvement of my sypmtoms. Before trying marijuana as a treatment, I was having extremely loose stools 6 - 10 or more times a day with cramping, bleeding and mucus. Currently, I have been going 4-6 times a day with much firmer stool.

In 2002, I was diagnosed with left-sided "moderate" Ulcerative Colitis (on my last colonoscopy things looked normal past 60cm) and tried 5ASAs which made my symptoms worse and seemingly caused symptoms on my right side. I've tried the Specific Carbohydrate diet two times; once for a year and a half, and more recently I stuck to the intro diet for two months. Neither really helped much, although on the intro diet I certainly went to the bathroom less, I also lost 15 pounds.

I'm certainly (cautiously) optimistic about this new course of treatment!
